I think 99.99% is overdoing it. I'm pretty sure there is more than .01% of customers who want HA for their AuthN to email, IM, SharePoint, partner apps, etc. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com<mailto:br...@briandesmond.com> w - 312.625.1438 | c - 312.731.3132 From: Michael B.

It is, indeed, recommended. It's also recommend to have a load-balanced adfs proxy, but for 99.99% of clients, that is just bollocks.

Domain is 2008 R2, only 10 users. I'm reading through all the documentation and specifically looking at the requirement for a separate machine to host the Directory Synchronization tool. Anyone here do this yet with a small office? Just curious as to the load on the box. I'm going to create a VM for this but see that the minimum requirements are 4G RAM and 70G of disk space. That seems high to me for something like this in a very small environment. Curious to hear what others have seen after doing this in a similar environment. Also just starting to read about single sign-on. So using the AD Sync tool doesn't give you single-sign on? It just gets your users and groups up to Office 365? For what purpose, if the credentials are synched? That's what I don't understand yet, but I'm not done reading yet, so maybe that will come. So if you need AD FS for single sign-on, how was the process?
